SUSTAINABILITY & STAINLESS STEEL
Reduce
The quantity of raw material to produce Stainless Steel. (40%), consequently the CO2 emission decreases.
Reuse
The durability of stainless steels makes reuse very important. Examples: Bottles, mugs, cups, straws… Single use of plastics is increasingly banned.
Recycle
Stainless Steel is 100% recyclable, all the scrap collected (82%) is reused.
